The Vin Scully bobblehead was pretty damn popular, so I get why they’re bringing it back. I will admit, however, that I am worried that bobblehead technology is sufficient to capture the nuances of the Rick Monday saving the flag incident.

Also worth noting that Monday played for the Cubs at the time of the flag incident, and he was saving it from unruly Dodgers fans (well, at least they were in Los Angeles anyway), so apparently the Dodgers are bobblehead-i-fying anything that remotely touches on Dodger history.

“Following up on the case days later, the Los Angeles Times found that ‘the man who tried to burn the American flag at Dodger Stadium was attempting to draw attention to what he claims is his wife’s imprisonment in a Missouri mental institution, authorities say.’ It paints the attempt to burn the flag as something less than viciously anti-American.” …

Craig, I think you’re right about bobblehead technology not capturing the nuances of the flag saving incident. I’m having difficulty imagining it. Will he have a Cubs uniform on to make it historically accurate? Will they also include the flag burners’ bobbling heads? Don’t get me wrong; it is an iconic image and rightfully so, but a bobblehead? Hmmm.
